Objective:To observe wet cupping therapy (WCT) on local blood perfusion and analgesic effects in patients with nerve-root type cervical spondylosis (NT-CS).Methods:Fifty-seven NT-CS patients were randomly divided into WCT group and Jiaji acupoint-acupuncture (JA) group according a random number table.WCT group (30 cases) was treated with WCT for 10 min,and JA group (27 cases) was treated with acupuncture for 10 min.The treatment efficacies were evaluated with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Blood perfusion at Dazhui (GV 14) and Jianjing (GB 21) acupoints (affected side) was observed with a laser speckle flowmetry,and its variations before and after treatment in both groups were compared as well.Results:In both groups,the VAS scores significantly decreased after the intervention (P＜0.01),while the blood perfusion at the two acupoints significantly increased after intervention (P＜0.05);however,the increasement magnitude caused by WCT was obvious compared with JA (P＜0.05).Conclusion:WCT could improve analgesic effects in patients with NT-CS,which might be related to increasing local blood perfusion of acupunct points.
